Rachael Taylor confirms she will not return for Transformers 2 large_Transformers---Rachael-T
In an interview with Movie Hole, Rachael Taylor confirms that she will not be reprising the role of hacker / computer genius Maggie Madsen in Transformers 2 or its sequels. The reason that she gives is that she was not contracted for more than one movie and that in her opinion her character would not "fit into" the story of a sequel.

Yes, I'm a fucking moron. A person who didn't like her character from first watching the movie is a fucking die hard fan boy who defends any aspect. You're right, please insult my intelligence more by resorting to simple name calling. Don't reply rationally or rephrase what you said, just go off the handle.

Good work.
Wait, you're going to stuff words into my mouth and then tell me I'M the one going off the handle? I said I didn't care for her character, not that she was pointless. You extended what I said into a translation that was not at ALL what I said, and then when I disagree tell me I'm an asshole for not just bowing down and kissing your ass for trying to mis-translate what I said?

I'm sure I'll get smackdowned for this, but fuck you. I've had enough of people telling me what my opinion of the movie is because they can't see anything but black or white. You'd be shocked to find out there are shades of grey for some people in there. While I didn't care for her character, it's there, she played it, and it would make perfect sense to carry that forward for multiple reasons, some of which I listed. You translated that into "yes, let's keep pointless and useless characters." Not what I said at all.

I have my own opinion of the movie. It's not the same as yours. Can't handle it? Eat me. I'm done pulling punches on people who insist an taking my every word on movie continuity and trying to shoe-horn it into either the haters or the lovers camp. I don't fit either, and don't particularly want to.

I wasn't aware that you had to be a chef to be able to say that the food tastes bad.

I cared not for any human character besides Sam. I'm apathetic because I figure that she will be replaced by an equally uninteresting character in an equal amount of uninteresting movie time. I didn't think she affected the movie much, though.

Nope, can't do it.

Good riddance to a pointless character.

Yes, you have an opinion. Good for you. Surprisingly I have one of my own. Yours seems to differ from the mass consensus, for reasons that make no sense to me so I point it out. Then you insult my intelligence by calling me a moron. I don't give a fuck what bullshit you've been through with other people when discussing a movie, but don't come on here calling me a moron.

Maybe if i put "I think" infront of everything, then maybe you won't take it as me telling you what to think. Here, let me try it:

I think she's a horrid actor, a pointless character, and deserves not to be in the new movie as it can only bring MY enjoyability of it down.

Seeing as you'd rather yell, scream and be all pissy instead of telling me in a polite way what you said if I misinterpreted it. And if you don't like movie discussions, stay away from it as you obviously can't handle it.

(I look forward to seeing how this response gets incorrectly interpreted into something about CG robot design and Michael Bay's camera decisions)

But seriously, though, Rachael could hop on my popsicle any time she wanted to. Don't know why everybody out there has such hate for her, and why we have to be such Bot Dorks about everything. Sheezus, some of you guys need to spend less time fondling your Transformers and more time getting laid.
What he said. Rachael is teh hotness, much more my idea of yummy than hard-faced Megan Fox. Each to their own, I suppose.

She couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag, but she sure was nice to look at.

The only thing I didn't like about her character, or more specifically her character's experience, is all the crap she had to put up with from Keller and Co. She reminds me of a female character in a Dan Brown book called, "Deception Point". I thought that Megan Fox was halfway believable - during the scene with her jock boyfriend Trent DeMarco, and also when she was driving the tow truck in the last 30 or so minutes.

Her character was important as far as helping to decode the Decepticon shriek at the beginning of the film, but I can't understand why she was in the rest of the film - in my opinion, I think that she didn't need to be seen after the beginning of ACT II.

I wish that people were cast in films not just because of how they look, but moreso due to their acting abilities. This is just like much of the music industry - more of an emphasis on looks versus an emphasis on talent - just because someone looks good doesn't mean they can sing a lick or carry a tune, or act a scene.
Ash from Carolina:
I don't know how good she is as an actor because I've only seen her in Transformers and bad acting is pretty much a signature of a Micheal Bay film. Honestly unless you are some crazed fan boy can you name any good acting in any Micheal Bay film?

Really seemed like all her character did in the first film was to look cute and set up jokes for the fat guy. Not exactly vital roles in a film about robots that have taken their war here to earth. Although as gods horrible weak and usless as the Decepticons were they could have had her character kill a few Decepticons I guess.

I can kind of see where she might be upset that the most robotic thing in the series Megan Fox is going to be back and she's not. But hey if she wants to be more than just something cute then she's going to have to find work in something where the actors are there for more than just setting up the next special effects shot. If she's got talent I'm sure she will land some other Hollywood film.

Ditto, I don't get the majority of the complaints about her bad acting when nearly everyone in the movie acted horribly. Her acting wasn't any worse than Anthony Anderson, John Turturro, Megan Fox, the parents, and Tyrese...hell the entire cast. Not that its a bad movie, but MB movies don't really excel in the acting department...ever. Its like buying a dozen rotten eggs, eating them all, and singling out one because it made you sick.
BamBam25:
I guess I'm one of the few who didn't think she did a bad job at all. At the very least, her performance was serviceable. Not any worse than Megan Fox's performance, because, let's face it, is a woman in a Bay film really there for her acting merit? That and I personally found her a lot more appealing than Megan. That's just one guy's opinion, though.

Judging by a lot of the responses, most of the members who post here don't like girls at all.
Poho:
that's a shame, she's smokin' hot. oh well, she probably wouldn't have fit in the sequel anyway, as she said.
VAwitch:
Well, as long as this "Alice" that the OTHER Aussie gal is playing is different, I don't see why they couldn't have worked her in. Frankly, I can't see why she'd not "fit" any better than Sgt Epps' wife, or this new geek-buddy Sam is going to be running around with.

I liked that it wasn't a greasy, fat, *male* computer geek.
